DROMORE VILLA LADIES - HISTORY IN THE MAKING
This Tuesday the 5th of July 2011 at 7pm history will be made when the Dromore Villa Ladies take to the field in their first ever Junior match. It is a home game V Manor Rangers and we wish the team managed by Jim Murphy and James Hynes well.
They have been training over the past few weeks and are looking forward to their first game.
This is the first season Ladies soccer has been played at Junior level in the Sligo Leitrim & District League and great credit must go to our Chairman Joe Burns who was instrumental in setting up the Ladies League and to Noel M Kennedy Secretary of Sligo Leitrim & District League for his help in getting it up and running.
On Friday next the 8th the Ladies will travel to Balliasdare so watch this space for match reports and updates......

Duck Race Result
Our Duck Race Fundraiser went off very successfully on Monday the 6th with an entry of almost 500 ducks.
We had a late change of venue due to problems with the currents at the waterfall in Dromore West so we moved the race to Belville with the finish just below the "wooden bridge".
The ducks took a while to get into their stride but once they got into the current there was no stopping them and within 30 minutes they had made the journey to the Finish where they were cheered across the line by a large crowd of anxious duck owners.
It was a gruelling race with several ducks struggling to get through the bushes and grass along the riverbank and some needing a gentle push to keep them in the current.
In a close finish the duck owned by Michael David Lynch made the most of the wet conditions to cross the finish in 1st place followed closely in 2nd place by the much fancied Myra Foy owned duck with Megan Mullarkeys duck coming in 3rd place.
The "wooden spoon" went to Conor and Eoin Gordons duck who struggled to get through the current under the bridge and in a very close finish eventually came in last place.
We would like to sincerely thank everyone who made this event such a success, everyone who bought a duck, all who sold the ducks and to all the volunteers who helped out with the running of the race on the day without whom it would not have been possible.
Thanks also to all those who turned up to watch the race, we hope you enjoyed the evening and thanks for making the effort to come out to cheer on the ducks.
The result of the race was
1st place - Michael David Lynch (€500)
2nd place - Myra Foy (box of frozen Chicken)
3rd place - Megan Mullarkey (bottle of whiskey)
last duck home - Conor & Eoin Gordon (€20)
